In other words, they should have had a real GM a long time ago...

Something like that, I need to do more extensive research on what the hell is going on with this team, I know they made some head scratching moves in the past but damn, we need to learn. Honestly raiders looking like the warriors before this season. To Miami, my roomate who is a chargers fan was hating all day. Miami with the rookie QB C'mon now.

I am not saying Alex Smith is bad, I just said Palmer plays like Smith (similar styles... safe throws).... THAT WORKS FOR THE 49ERS. IT DOES NOT FOR THE RAIDERS. If both QB's swapped teams, I am convince the records would be identical. Palmer isnt the reason why this team is 0-2.

Doug Martin... Dang! Raiders have a log going for them in terms of talent and some decent pieces, but the fundamentals and small things just aren't being executed. Tackling has to be a major point of emphasis for this team because letting a rookie rack up 250+ yards and 4 TDs on the ground is embarrassing.

Yeah I don't think you guys have much to gain this season with Palmer. He does give the Raiders the best chance to win, but realistically, what's another two wins or so in a sub .500 season? I would be concerned what thr cap number would be if he did get cut though - sucks paying a guy that isn't even on the team.

My biggest thing is I don't want to lose every game. But, Palmer shouldn't waste his last good years on our shitty ass team. He should go somewhere he can help win. Like the Vikings or another team that's good that needs a QB.

Vikings signed Cassel for around 4 millions per year, so I don't think they would spend more on QB position. Only if they trade or cut Ponder, and I don't see that happening. But, stranger things have happened...

Well, McKenzie is cleaning house. He is signing all these "average" players on the defense side to short contracts. I like this strategy. He is anticipating a rough season, but he is doing it the right way. He is rebuilding this team. If the Raiders can get Sharriff Floyd or Star Lotulelei (even with his heart condition), they can really begin building this team.

The team should cut Palmer (agreeing with you guys), Cut McClain. I think Tommy Kelly can be useful with a contract deduction.

If the Chiefs take Geno Smith (which i doubt, they already have Akex Smith)

Then we gotta try and grab Luke Joeckel.

I'd be keen on trading down and getting a barrage of different picks.

CB is weak ATM for Raiders. We are gonna get destroyed. But supposedly Tawain Jones wants a positional switch & this might just suit him/us because he has got that crazy speed to stay with WR (don't know how good he agility is cause you need the hips to stay with a cutting WR)
